your cattapillar creating the tunnels is not a cattapillar its a millipede :) and feed your isopods a little bit of fishfood aswell so strengthen thier exoskeleton :)
The "caterpillar" is a millipede, the "spider" with fewer eyes and no segmented body is a Harvestman and the thing at the end with the wiggling antennae is, I think but I'm not 100% sure, a springtail. If you get in there and lightly touch it's bum it'll jump! If it's a springtail that is, if not... It won't I guess! And from the looks of the trails I'd say small slugs or snails, but again, not 100%, just going off my own terrarium experience. Keep safe mate and give Cookie a big hug from me!
Those tiny mosquitos are fungus gnats and they are probably the ones making streaks on the glass. They can get out of hand rather quickly, though as the isopod population grows, they should disappear. I would place a few carnivorous plants next to the terrarium, something like a sundew (Drosera) and/or a butterwort (Pinguicula). Also for keeping moss alive, it is best to use distilled/rain water.
Thank you for continuing to produce videos in the most difficult of circumstances. My continuing thoughts for you all that are in so much distress. Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria, Australia.
@@jamiewatkins4178 St. Arnaud is a beautiful place, I'm from Melbourne but when I got the bus to Adelaide we stopped there for an hour for lunch, the people were so friendly, I lost my phone near the cafe and all the staff were calling it and helping look for it, thankfully we found it about 5 minutes before we had to board the bus to leave
@@danamummabear9799 Yer it's a nice smallish town the people are friendly but I wish we had a KFC Subway or something haha also needs more housing I checked about a week ago and there's only 3-4 places, which sucks a bit otherwise it's a good place to live..
It's likely a snail making the grooves in the condensation, the sharp snouted spider is actually a harvestmen, a predatory arachnid not related to spiders, and will eat essentially any small insect, and of course the millipede or as you refer to it "caterpillar" and is a millipede, same diet as a isopod
Def not a go to solution though, they’ll help in established colonies. All they really do is outcompete their food source. Not saying it DOESNT work. Just that it cannot be the only solution to be used (:
It’s great to see your awesome videos even though your country is still in so much distress but working to resolve and rebuild. Beautiful cat, Cookie, as well!
The streaks on the glass will be from soil mites. Super tiny dots (brown or white) they are beneficial and in all soil. Caterpillar is a millipede. The antenna thing might be a predatory mite. Add a load of springtails to the mix to keep on top of dead plant matter. Just let it do it's thing.
after seeing your first video, I decided to preform the same experiment with things I found in my back yard. I'd say it's going very well! (the isopods do like to stay out of sight, though)
Ok, so those tiny flying mosquitoes are likely to be fungus gnats. Totally harmless but very persistent. I know many have said it before me but the 'caterpillar' is actually a millipede
That antenna movement could be multifunctional, picking up scent and maybe mimic plant/debris in the wind. That way predators disregard them, like how a stick insect dances to mimic a stick in the wind?
4:50 - It's not a spider, it's an opiliones / harvestman / daddy long legs. It's a clade of arachnids that's older than spiders; essentially a proto-spider. Opiliones only have 1 body segment instead of 2 like true spiders, cannot spin webs, and are not venomous.
Hi! Do you have a list of equipment you are using to record/do a photos? If not, can you tell what camera and lenses do you have? Great videos! Cheers :)
Those tracks are snail tracks. I finally have seen mine. Tiny and cool looking. There’s a spider somewhere. Even a centipede. And some kind of flying insect species. Hitchhikers
Also, incase this wasn't mentioned by anyone else, the isopods that were sitting on top of one another seemed to possibly be mating so expect baby isopods soon!
4:50 Not a spider, but an opiliones, they are arachnids, but not venomous and can't bite humans, I believe they feed mostly on plant matter, though I may be wrong
Hello it would be amazing if you raised snails ^^ I have over 30 snails and they are super fulfilling pets with their own expressions and are just ADORABLE in general. If you do get snails make sure you include a spray bottle.
"The creature you've never seen before" you ask what the purpose of the long antennae that swept to the side in a swimming motion..water tension..and mobility. It spreads out it's footprint on the water with antennae-outriggers while sweeping back...this propels it across the surface of the water.
Hi I'm getting a new hamster and I wanted advice so I always see things about hamsters I'm a bit scared to try myself I wanted to know if a hamster's bite it like painful and can you dress a hamster? If so what fabric should I use bc I don't rly know much and I hear that hamsters don't live very long and I want to be as careful as possible
How do you prepare this terrarium ? how many speces have yuou put insied ? thank you and this isn a very good job . i iam an italian boy ,. I love too much terrarium
